Course Structure

The course is delivered as an initial day of classroom training, with a second day around four weeks after, and a third day a further 12 weeks after. The gap between days allows you time to practise and gather evidence for your award. The idea being that by the end of day three you will have done enough to complete your award (providing you’ve met the standard required).

Each of the days is outlined below:

Day 1: Underpinning Knowledge

You will attend a trainer-led course where you will learn all about what is involved when facilitating training with groups and individuals. The subject matter will include:

Responsibilities and traits of an Instructor
The training cycle
Planning
Methods of delivery
Learning styles
Feedback
Next steps and your continuing online support

The duration of this first day is approximately 6 hours. For the remainder of the day you should prepare material for Day 2 using the knowledge you have gained. It would be a good idea to attend this first day with an idea in mind for the session you will deliver on Day 2.

In between training Days 1 and 2 you will begin your underpinning knowledge assessment and prepare to deliver your first group training session

Day 2: Training Groups

On Day 2, you will deliver a 15-minute training session to the group on a subject of your choice. This session should follow the techniques, methods, and structure introduced on Day 1.

Your topic can be anything you know well, such as a hobby, a process, or a sport. You are encouraged to choose a subject where you have strong knowledge and confidence.

You may use any combination of:

Technology (e.g., laptops, PowerPoint)
Handouts
Practical exercises (bring any necessary props or equipment)
Other creative methods to engage learners

Your session must also include:

A way to measure learning (assessment)
A learner feedback form

Your Instructor will assess your presentation and provide constructive feedback to help you refine your technique. You will also participate in the sessions delivered by other candidates in your group.

Between Day 2 and Day 3

You will be required to:

Deliver your second group training session and upload evidence for marking
Deliver your first 1-to-1 training session and upload evidence for marking
Prepare your second 1-to-1 training session (to be delivered on Day 3)
Complete your underpinning knowledge assessment

Day 3: Training Individuals

On Day 3, you will deliver your second 1-to-1 training session, lasting approximately 15 minutes. This session should demonstrate how you have applied the feedback and guidance received from your previous presentations. You will once again be assessed on your technique, delivery, and ability to engage and support the learner.
